The Answer that he needed & Depart

{A/N: I'm so sorry that I haven't had the chance to tell you guys the reason why I haven't uploaded any chapter for more than a month. The reason that I haven't been able to upload this fanfic is that I'm being very busy with my own college schedule and I have been focusing too much time on my other fanfic that I have a hard time finding the time to write this fanfic.

"Dad, I have been thinking for a while... But how do you know about my power?"

Yukio, who heard Tetsuya question, only looked at the starry sky while reminiscing the memory of the past with a smile on his face.

"Dad?"

"I wanted to tell you this when you grow a little bigger, but since you have been so curious, I will tell you about it."

When Tetsuya heard his dad respond, he right now is 75% sure that his dad doesn't know about his system at all. And the reason why he gives 75% is that the reason is pretty much simple and that is because his dad is going to tell him about it when he is older, meaning it's not that urgent of a topic which makes him think that it is related to something else since if his dad knows the system, he would probably ask him due to being interested. The reason why he isn't completely 100% sure is that he doesn't know what his dad is truly thinking, or maybe he has another ulterior motive behind it.

"If you don't want to talk about it right now it's okay dad, I don't mind at all."

"Don't worry, it is something you are bound to know soon, so might as well tell you right now. But I won't tell you all the details since it will be no fun that way, and I would rather you figure out the rest yourself"

"Wow… stingy."

Tetsuya replied with an irritated look on his face as he looked at his dad.

"Considering you have been trying to make me take all the credits for creating the dolls and other things that you have shown, I would say that you deserve this much."

"W-what are you talking about, dad, there is no way your dear son would do that…"

Yukio with a smug look on his face looks at Tetsuya which causes Tetsuya to sweatdrop while laughing wryly as he tries to feign ignorance and also avert his eyes from Yukio.

Yukio who saw that only laughed as he looked at Tetsuya.

"Anyway, since you have been waiting, I will tell you about it."

Tetsuya heard this gulp while waiting for Yukio in anticipation.

"You see, there is a young man that I met 5 years ago outside Kyoto. That young man that I met was so strong that even I couldn't compete in terms of strength. At that time both of us met each other, he said that I have to help you to grow stronger by any means necessary… End of the story."

Tetsuya, who is expecting more of the story from Yukio, looks at Yukio with a confused look after he halts the story.

"Wait, is that all…"

"Yep, that is all."

"You are not going to tell me where the location is or any other useful information?"

"Well, didn't I tell you earlier, that you must figure that out by yourself?"

"Wow… What terrible storytelling… *sigh* No wonder mom told me that back then in high school you were a depressed kind of guy."

"Wait what… Anna told you that!"

Yukio only looks at Tetsuya with a wry smile when hearing that statement. On the other hand, Tetsuya who heard this information from Yukio only thinks about it, such as 'What is the identity of that person?', 'Is that person related to the system?', or even 'What is the objective of that person?'. Soon, Tetsuya once again looks at Yukio as he tries to ask him a question.

"Can I ask you a question that is a little related to that person?"

"Depends on what you ask, I will answer it."

Yukio, who responded to Tetsuya's question, only looked at him with a smile. As Tetsuya heard that, he then asked Yukio a question he had been wondering about.

"Then I will ask my question... Dad, Is that person that you just mentioned still around or alive?"

The reason why Tetsuya asks this question is that he wants to know if the person he wants to search for is still alive or not since he doesn't want to search for a person who doesn't live anymore. When Yukio, who heard this from Tetsuya, stayed quiet for a while before he responded.

"I think he is still alive, but at the same time he is already not in this world."

Yukio with a wry smile looks at Tetsuya while responding to his question. The response of Yukio makes Tetsuya look at Yukio with a very complicated look on his face, and one of the obvious expressions that can be seen at Tetsuya is the expression of confusion.

"What do you mean by that, dad!?"

"It's a shame, but you have to figure out the rest of the story by yourself, okay?"

Yukio only shows a smile as he stands up from the position that he just sits in. Tetsuya, who is still sitting, only looks at his dad with an irritated look. Right now he feels like a reader who has been spoiled with the story, but when he needs more information about the spoiler, the spoiler turns out to be a clickbait which he has to wait for another volume of the story to hear the rest of the spoiler.

"Wait, dad, you have to tell me what did you just mean by that?"

"Rather than worrying about that over and over, you should sleep earlier, since you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

Yukio soon left as he patted Tetsuya's shoulder while entering the house with a smile. Tetsuya looks at his dad who is walking behind him while he still has a confused look while looking at his dad.

'So, to summarize, a person who is still alive and already not in this world… Isn't that similar to xianxia genre where the character ascends to another world when they have achieved certain cultivation... *ugh* It seems I have been reading too much manhua in my past life, anyway I should go to sleep rather than thinking about this stuff since I'm not really in the hurry to figure out the connection between that person and me.'

Tetsuya, who is still sitting alone in the yard, then stands as he enters the house. As he enters the house, he then brushes his teeth like a normal 7 years old boy and soon enters his room to get ready for sleep. But as he enters the room, he sees all the girls already sleeping in his room which makes him look at them with a deadpan look.

But soon Tetsuya changed his expression into a sad smile as he saw them sleeping. He understands what they are feeling right now since this is the first time that he is going to leave the house for quite a while without them following, which can be lonely to them since in the past years they have always been together. That is why he wants them to at least be independent a little from him.

Tetsuya soon walks to his wardrobe and grabs something from it. The thing that he just grabbed is 2 blankets which he then put one of the blankets into the girls who already sleep. As he put the blanket on, he then went outside his room and put another blanket on the sofa, so he could sleep there. The reason he doesn't sleep on his bed is so obvious, his bed was full of people on it, and he didn't want to bother those who were still sleeping on his bed and he wanted them to grow independently of him.

And soon Tetsuya then sleeps on his sofa but later gets noticed by his parents who are still awake which later to his dismay he gets forced back to sleep in his room with the girls.

Morning soon comes as Tetsuya is ready to go to the land of shadow where Scáthach lives. Before he leaves, he then says goodbye to everyone in the house. Hopefully, after 10 days he can still stay alive after receiving the training and go safely back home, but in the end, there is an excited expression on his face as he looks forward to meeting Scáthach and how much he will grow stronger after this.

"Are you ready?" Asked Anna with a smile while looking at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya who heard Anna only nod as he looked a bit nervous.

"Don't be nervous, there is your dad who will be accompanying you, and also you need to believe in yourself more."

Anna bent her knee to match Tetsuya's height as she grabbed both of his shoulders while talking in front of him.

"It's not like I'm nervous because I would fail or anything… Rather than nervous, I'm a bit excited."

Anna, who heard this, only smiles happily and looks at Yukio while nodding at him. Yukio also nodded back with a smile as he soon tapped Tetsuya's shoulder as trying to notify them that both of them are about to go.

Anna soon summons a purple katana sword from her dimensional gap and then slams it into the open air, this causes a big crack that opens up a portal in front of her.

'Isn't that…'

Tetsuya who sees this is surprised since this reminds him of the ability of Yamato which is a long katana sword from the devil may cry game series. Seeing the ability itself in a closer look makes him a bit excited after he's been playing the devil may cry game for years in his past life. But he knows this is a little different since his mom's sword is different from the Yamato he knows in terms of look or size.

Soon, Tetsuya calms himself down as both he and Yukio walk toward the portal that opens in front of them. When both of them enter the portal, both of them disappear as the portal then closes.
